Pancakes

Method

Pancakes

  1. 1

    Prepare the Mixture

    In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, sugar, baking powder, baking soda, salt, and poppy seeds until combined.

  2. 2

    Combine Wet Ingredients

    In another bowl, whisk together the milk, eggs, lemon zest, and vanilla extract until smooth.

  3. 3

    Mix Together

    Pour the wet mixture into the dry ingredients and gently mix until just combined. Do not overmix; some lumps are okay.

  4. 4

    Cook the Pancakes

    Heat a non-stick skillet or griddle over medium heat and melt a tablespoon of butter. Pour 1/4 cup of batter for each pancake onto the skillet. Cook until bubbles form on the surface, about 2-3 minutes, then flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until golden brown. Repeat with remaining batter.

Strawberry Blueberry Compote

  1. 5

    Combine Ingredients

    In a small saucepan, combine the strawberries, blueberries, sugar, and lemon juice.

  2. 6

    Cook the Compote

    Cook over medium heat for about 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally until the fruits are soft and the mixture starts to thicken. Remove from heat and let cool slightly.

Lemon Mascarpone

  1. 7

    Mix the Ingredients

    In a mixing bowl, combine the mascarpone cheese, powdered sugar, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Whisk until smooth and creamy.
